1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Spread the raw almonds evenly on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until they are lightly golden and fragrant.
3. While the almonds are roasting, place the coconut oil in a small saucepan and melt it over low heat. Once melted, whisk in the cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until you have a smooth chocolate mixture.
4. Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
5. Transfer the roasted almonds into a medium-sized mixing bowl and pour the chocolate mixture over them.
6. Using a spatula, toss the almonds until they are thoroughly coated in the chocolate mixture.
7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the chocolate-coated almonds out in a single layer.
8. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to set for about 15 minutes.
9. Once the chocolate is fully set, transfer the almonds to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate firm and enjoy as desired.
